Oneida, N.Y. -- A building on Phelps Street in Oneida which housed a martial arts dojo collapsed Wednesday night.

The wall of Waterman's Martial Arts Ryouzan Dojo began to collapse around 7:45 p.m., according to the Madison County firefighters' Facebook page.

There were no injuries as a result of the collapse, firefighters said.

"This entire ordeal is a pretty big shock," Waterman's posted on Facebook after the collapse. Owner Heath Waterman wasn't able to enter because the building was too unstable, according to the Facebook post.

Part of the building was in the process of being repaired, according to the Facebook post.

"I knew with the last storm there had been surface damage, but no one I talked to gave any indication the damage was this severe," the post reads. "While repairs needed to be made, and were in the process of being organized, the core of the wall was supposedly stable enough I had time and could prevent something like this from occurring. The crux is the building was just old enough, and the conditions just harsh enough, things let loose beyond anyone's expectation."

Oneida Fire Chief Kevin Salerno told the Oneida Dispatch that no one was inside the building when it started to come down. The building is irreparable, he said, and the city would have an engineer determine how to best take down the building.

Officials told the Oneida Dispatch the building was built in the late 1800s or early 1900s.

Phelps Street was closed to traffic Thursday morning and large area around the building was taped off, the Oneida Dispatch said.

The dojo, meanwhile, will hold classes at normal times at Allen Park rain or shine, according to the Facebook post, and would look into its options for the future.

"I will continue the school, whether that means rebuilding, moving, or training on an empty lot."
